Nealey Tire Repair String - Motorcycle Tire Repair #tirerepair #motorcycletire #puncturerepair

How to use a Nealey sticky string tire repair kit to fix a puncture on a motorcycle tire, with internal views of the process. The Nealey Tire Repair Kit is a specialized tubeless tire repair system made in the USA that uses a unique "knot" method to provide a permanent fix. Unlike standard "sticky string" kits, it does not require glue or cement and uses a closed-eye needle tool to form a patch on the inside of the tire casing.

Key Features:

• Permanent "Knot" Repair: The tool allows you to insert a cotton cord impregnated with synthetic rubber, turn it 1.5 times, and pull it back to form a knot inside the tire. This creates a physical patch larger than the puncture hole.

• No Glue Required: The strands are pre-treated and "cure" into the tire casing through the heat generated by driving.

• Universal Use: Suitable for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, and agricultural equipment.

• Compact Design: Kits are typically sold in slim tubes, making them easy to store in glove boxes or under motorcycle seats.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
Locate the puncture and remove the object (nail, screw) with pliers.

Thread one repair strand halfway through the closed-eye needle tool.

Push the tool with the strand all the way into the puncture until the handle touches the tire.

Rotate the handle one and a half (1.5) times to wrap the cord around the needle on the inside.

Pull the tool straight out until only the tip is exposed, then cut the strand free.

NOTE: This kit is designed for tubeless tires and any repairs should only be carried out on the main treaded area of the tire and NOT on the shoulder or sidewall sections. The manufacturer of this kit claims that this repair is permanent when carried out correctly. I am only demonstrating how to use the repair kit, I have nothing to do with its design or manufacture. WARNING: Use of this product could void tire warranty. Do NOT attempt any type of tire repair if any of the following conditions exist:

• The tire has less than 1.6mm tread depth
• The puncture is greater than 1/4 inch diameter (6mm)
• There is structural damage to tread, carcass, inner liner, or bead (including cracking, bubbling, ply separation, etc.)
• The puncture is on the shoulder or sidewall of the tire
• The tire has been inflated with any flammable gas
• The perforating object cannot be located
• The perforating object is not straight indicating the puncture path is not straight
• There is little resistance felt when inserting the repair
• There is evidence that the tire has been driven under-inflated
• There is evidence of possible structure/internal damage
